    After years of riding a motorcycle am now a scooterist. It's perfect for my daily use in São Paulo traffic.

    Scooters really are the perfect city bike. Small and nimble, no shifting, built in storage, easy to park, easy to get on and off of, and if 125cc or larger, easy to keep up with city traffic, depending on how fast traffic is moving. Here most main city streets are 45 mph, and traffic goes 50 mph.

    I rode motorcycles for years but my scooter is more fun for non-freeway/highway riding and commuting. That;s a nice looking silver scooter.
